Horrific #7
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains three stories: "Rain of Death" by Larry Sanger, in which a rainmaker uses a silver-iodide seeding generator to create precipitation, inadvertently allowing a prospector to discover metallic sodium in the grease at the bottom of the seed tube—leading to a demonstration that traps the prospector in a ring of fire. "The She-Beast" follows Jock Carver, a former jungle hunter with a fever who is pursued through the jungle by a mysterious female creature, ultimately succumbing to her attack. "Death Song!" depicts Henri Marleau, a murdered man whose spirit haunts his rival musician George Ricco through a supernatural melody, driving Ricco to madness as the dead man's voice commands him to leave and declares him dead.
In the shadowy world of *Horrific #7*, Herr Bosz runs a seemingly innocuous reducing salon—until his clients vanish, leaving behind only whispers and a chilling new shipment bound for Dresden. With a smile and a scalpel, he turns beauty into something far more sinister, one shrinking at a time.
In "Shrunken Skull," a group of men track down their missing colleague, Johnathat Scott, only to find him living peacefully with a tribe in the Valley of Gold. When Eric Ramon betrays Scott, murdering him and shrinking his head to frame the natives, he unleashes a vengeful spirit that refuses to stay buried.
In "The She-Beast," ex-convict Jock Carver flees into the jungle only to be captured by Repta, a striking jungle girl who guards a hidden treasure of jewels. When he steals the gems and tries to escape, he’s confronted by Repta in a terrifying transformation—her serpentine form sending him fleeing into a crocodile-infested nest.
In "Death Song!" from Horrific #7 (1953), ambition turns deadly when George Ricco's rival, Henri Marleau, can't bear the weight of his own failure and the sight of Ricco's rising fame. After murdering Ricco and taking his place, Marleau is haunted by a relentless vision of his former rival—until the guilt becomes unbearable.
